The First Two Guitar Strums In The Brokeback Mountain Opening by canniclown, haunter_ielle

Summary
MacCallum Ranch is nestled into the mountains on the Colorado-Wyoming border. After two decades of dedicated work, first as ranch hands and now as a foreman and a farrier, Roan and Parker have decided to retire. The MacCallums are looking to employ some capable, disciplined, able-bodied men to set up home in their ranch house, to help them run their family business, so that they can settle into a slower lifestyle after they almost lost each other.
This is a collaborative cowboy and ranch universe between haunter_ielle and canniclown!!!! We started writing this because we watched Brokeback Mountain and wanted a universe where the two ranchers that fell in love when they met herding sheep in the mountains never separated again. We love cowboys and we love when they kiss on the mouth!!!!

Summary
Ilya has put ice on his knee every night. He has helped Shane apply compression, to strap up his braces, to elevate it. He has kissed the tender skin, and fetched Shane his soda and pressed down on his thighs so that he does not move too much when Ilya blows him. He is not a doctor, but he knows hockey injuries, he knows broken bodies. There is a meniscus tear too, perhaps. Shane’s poor, overworked cartilage giving up. He will need surgery. That is not a question in Ilya’s mind, not any more.
“It’s bad. I can still play —” he says it quickly, like he thinks Ilya might stop him, like Ilya could. Perhaps that would be the only thing that could shatter them: Ilya being the one to stop Shane, to take this cup from him. He will not. He doesn’t understand how Shane loves hockey, but he understands not stopping. He understands wanting to hold a solid thing in your hands and say this, this is greatness.
“We will win,” Ilya says again.
“One last go at it.” Shane’s fingers flutter, and he turns his head away from Ilya, and Ilya — Ilya understands.
--
Shane decides to retire. Ilya, of course, will go with him.

Summary
“Which one is yours?”
Shane scans the ice for his daughter’s jersey number. Ilya had been really smug about it when they brought it home. She has your last name, Hollander, he’d said, let her have my number if she wants. Is better, anyway.
“That one,” he says, pointing at the clump of white jerseys. “Number 81. Mila.”
“Oh you’re Mila’s dad!” The woman looks delighted. “I’m Maddie’s mom. Jane.”
She holds her hand out, and Shane has to bite back a grin. He takes her hand.
“Shane,” he says, shaking it. “Nice to meet you.”

Summary
“If I take days off, who will manage the Commission in my absence?” Yukong answers. “The workload is immense. No one else could handle it all.”
She hates being like this. Work is an illusory bulwark, hiding a deeper truth, a fear rooted somewhere in her heart. It’s just an excuse to avoid facing something she might irrationally desire.
“If no one can handle the Commission's burden, how can you?” Feixiao insists, rolling onto her side. “Shouldn't you take a break?”
Her fingers trace the line of Yukong’s spine. Yukong shivers. All this is unreasonable.

Or everyone wants Yukong to retire.

Summary
“We need more sparkles, Hollander. I will not let anyone outsparkle our child.” Ilya placed another rhinestone on the sheer fabric. “Especially Lavoie.”
Shane often wondered how he got here–him with spreadsheets of their children’s schedules and Ilya fussing over fabric swatches and obsessively hoarding rhinestones while actively engaging in petty fights with other figure skating parents.
Shane had plans.
Well, a resemblance of a plan. A rough expectation, perhaps.
It fell through spectacularly from the very beginning and he blamed Yuzuru Hanyu, Yuna Kim, Ilya Rozanov and Yuna Hollander for everything. Not that Shane really minded though.
Shane enjoys this current phase of life with Ilya more than he ever imagined.
Even if he sometimes feels like he’s going insane.
-Or what happened when two professional hockey players became obsessive competitive-figure-skating fathers.
